Exactly.But Dyno #s are easily manipulated by applying different correction factors,density altitude ect..:bananalove:

I must be missing something here. It says this is a 4 seat pleasure craft. Not a race boat, right? Now even if you have the crazy money to purchase these engines and drives why would anyone want engines that guzzle race gas like crazy and probably need complete rebuilds every 20 hours or so? Do these folks only run their boats twice a year? I boat 2 or 3 times a week, April-Sept. That would not be possible with this boat. I don't get it. Why?

I apologize 3rdcldhod for coming across as a dick. It's a symptom that rises occasionally from time to time especially when I can't get my aquaspeed fix. I hope to resolve this issue Saturday as it is supposed to be in the 70s' this weekend in SC.
It's guys like the owner of this DW, Plyburn, Tommy at Chief and countless others that keep this sport evolving. Without people willing to spend money on development the sport wouldn't evolve. My bank account will never evolve to this gentlemens' level, but, I can live vicariously thru his build.

Merry Christmas Bob
